Description

Two key anniversaries in the history of the British justice system feature in this month’s MD, we take you back 150 years, to 1868, and the final public hanging in England,  we then travel back 60 years – to 1958 – and the case of Vivian Teed, The Last Man Hanged In Wales. Both are extraordinary accounts. On the gallows at Newgate in 1868 was Fenian bomber Michael Barrett, the Irish killer behind the Clerkenwell outrage which claimed the lives of a dozen innocent people and injured many more. Teed, meanwhile, was after cash when he knocked on the door of a sub-post office in a Swansea suburb – but he ended up with more than he’d bargained for…

Finally, don’t miss part two of The Manson Massacres, when justice finally catches up with the deadly Family.
